Use this * directive to avoid the undesirable flicker effect caused by the html template display. * * The directive can be applied to the `
` element, but typically a fine-grained application is * prefered in order to benefit from progressive rendering of the browser view. * * `ng-cloak` works in cooperation with a css rule that is embedded within `angular.js` and * `angular.min.js` files. Following is the css rule: * ** [ng\:cloak], .ng-cloak { * display: none; * } ** * When this css rule is loaded by the browser, all html elements (including their children) that * are tagged with the `ng-cloak` directive are hidden. When Angular comes across this directive * during the compilation of the template it deletes the `ng-cloak` element attribute, which * makes the compiled element visible. * * For the best result, `angular.js` script must be loaded in the head section of the html file; * alternatively, the css rule (above) must be included in the external stylesheet of the * application. * * Legacy browsers, like IE7, do not provide attribute selector support (added in CSS 2.1) so they * cannot match the `[ng\:cloak]` selector. To work around this limitation, you must add the css * class `ng-cloak` in addition to `ng-cloak` directive as shown in the example below. * * @element ANY * * @example
